Accessibility issue - keyboard shortcut to open attachment

Thanks for the reply.

MouseKeys works quite nicely.  Not as fast as I would like (even with it set to maximum speed) so, for me, it is about a push between grabbing the mouse and using MouseKeys.  Unless the mouse is far away (I have three screens arranged horizontally, so if I have pmail in the right hand monitor and the mouse is at the top left corner of the left hand monitor that is quite a distance to cover) in which case grabbing the mouse will always be quicker.

 On those bad days, though, when control of the mouse is elusive, MouseKeys is a wonderful alternative.

 Not as nice as just hitting ENTER when the attachment type is already highlighted, though!

 Thanks again

Is there a keystroke combination that will open an attachment?  I can navigate to the attachment page with F7.  I can highlight the attachment type with a <tab> followed by a number of <down arrow>'s.  But once I'm highlighting the attachment type of the attachment I want to open I have to grab the mouse and double-click on either the highlighted attachment type or the file name to get it to actually open.

 Have I overlooked a keystroke combination that will allow me to open the file without using the mouse?

 Thanks

No keystroke works that I can figure out either and there is not one listed on Han's keystroke list (www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pk_frame.html). 

Have you ever tried using Mouse Keys?  I researched them a little bit but was unable to determine whether the functionality would interfere with or enhance the way I work.  It's not important enough to me that I care to spend time testing but I welcome feedback from anyone who has experience with them.
